While people got big interest rates on the bank in Iceland and where bad for the Dutch economy, by sending money out of Holland. Even Dutch government organizatios where keeping their money in Iceland (that is peverted, the government weakening their own economy).

4000 people had more than 100.000 on the Dutch DSB bank, including Terror Jaap, famous cause he won 1 million in a Dutch reality TV show by terrorising everybody out of the game "The Golden Cage".

I guess the EU is afraid that the public opinion will be more and more against the EU if countries have to save other countries, but are not saving their own banks. And than the EU will collapse. But what will happen now with Spanish/Portugese/Italian banks? I would be carefull with those banks also. Holland was able to save the Dutch Banks with own money, Spain and Portugal doesn't have those amounts of money and the Dutch people aren't willing to pay for those banks also. And more and more people in the EU think that way.

And don't forgetto , Holland is a tax haven for a lot of international companies. When will we get punishged for that? People say Cyprus is a tax haven, but Holland does the same. The Rolling Stones and U2 are banking in Holland for years, not paying high taxes in their own lands (and Bono keeps playing the nice guy for poor countruies, avoiding tax himself).
